Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Roses Elixir Eau de Parfum

A divisive Montale offering - fans rave about its fruity rose charm, calling it a Miss Dior Cherie stand-in. Detractors brand it a synthetic, cloying mess. You'll either adore this vibrant, playful rose or find it a real scrubber. Blind buy at your own risk.

Our Verdict - Kintsugi Eau de Parfum

Kintsugi is a love-it-or-hate-it scent - a bold, shape-shifting fragrance that some find exhilaratingly complex and others, frankly, a bit of a challenging mess. It's truly not for everyone, but if you're after something really different, it might just be your next obsession.

With significant projection and longevity, Kintsugi is too potent for most office environments. It shines in more intimate or formal settings, where its unique character can be appreciated without overwhelming others. Its complexity makes it less suited for casual, everyday wear or active sport.
